ODOT working to extend pavement life on Route 11

LISBON — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has announced that work started Monday on a project to extend the pavement life on over six miles of state Route 11 between Lisbon/state Route 154 exit and the Columbiana Leetonia/state Route 558 Exit.

As a preservation strategy, Route 11 will be microsurfaced to seal the pavement, making it last longer. Utilizing aggressive preservation treatments, such as chip seal and microsurfacing, lowers costs over the long term, enabling ODOT to resurface more roads and provide a smoother ride for more people. Traffic will be maintained.

ODOT’s contractor for this $668,000 project is Ny-Mac Enterprises of Lansing, Mich. The completion date is July 31. For information contact: D11.PIO@dot.ohio.gov or 330-308-3949.
